Stevenson boats

Post by MHR »

has there been any evaluation of any Stevenson boats?
they look great but can they sail as well as the com pac 16 for example.
I can't seem to find out much about them

thanks

Just happen to have a set of vhs and written plans for the "weekender" if you're interested; got such a steal on a Siren 17 I opted not to build.

There was an article about the Columbia 200 ? With the red and white Weekender in it and is also pictured in the gallery here. As I recall when the wind came up everyone reefed then most dropped sails but the Weekender raised theirs and continued on having a great time. I have a Weekender that I built 8 yrs ago, we have taken it to the Sea of Cortez and we regularly sail San Francisco Bay to Stockton so I think if you are an experienced sailor or not, this is a fun boat.
